I build a test package in order to publish my own package to bioconductor.

I am using package.skeleton
Step 1. create test package "mypkg"
  f <- function(x,y) x+y
  package.skeleton(list=c("f"), name="mypkg")

Step 2. build tar.gz file

{mars:/local/workspace01/zhangju/R_autopackage_Elbow}../bin/R CMD build mypkg
* checking for file ‘mypkg/DESCRIPTION’ ... OK
* preparing ‘mypkg’:
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* checking for LF line-endings in source and make files
* checking for empty or unneeded directories
* building ‘mypkg_1.0.tar.gz’

Step 3. check compressed package file

{mars:/local/workspace01/zhangju/R_autopackage_Elbow}../bin/R CMD check mypkg_1.0.tar.gz 
* using log directory ‘/local/workspace01/zhangju/R_autopackage_Elbow/mypkg.Rcheck’
*
 using R version 2.14.0 (2011-10-31)
* using platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit)
* using session charset: UTF-8
* checking for file ‘mypkg/DESCRIPTION’ ... OK
* checking extension type ... Package
* this is package ‘mypkg’ version ‘1.0’
* checking package namespace information ... OK
* checking package dependencies ... OK
* checking if this is a source package ... OK
* checking if there is a namespace ... OK
* checking for executable files ... OK
* checking whether package ‘mypkg’ can be installed ... ERROR
Installation failed.
See ‘/local/workspace01/zhangju/R_autopackage_Elbow/mypkg.Rcheck/00install.out’ for details.

Step 4. check error 

{mars:/local/workspace01/zhangju/R_autopackage_Elbow}head mypkg.Rcheck/00install.out 
* installing *source* package ‘mypkg’ ...
** R
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help
Warning:

  missing/empty \title field in '/local/workspace01/zhangju/R_autopackage_Elbow/mypkg.Rcheck/00_pkg_src/mypkg/man/f.Rd'
Rd files must have a non-empty \title.

Step 5. add "test package" to the title of f.Rd
Step 6. build again

{mars:/local/workspace01/zhangju/R_autopackage_Elbow}../bin/R CMD build mypkg
* checking for file ‘mypkg/DESCRIPTION’ ... OK
* preparing ‘mypkg’:
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* checking for LF line-endings in source and make files
* checking for empty or unneeded directories
* building ‘mypkg_1.0.tar.gz’

Step 7.
 check compressed package again

{mars:/local/workspace01/zhangju/R_autopackage_Elbow}../bin/R CMD check mypkg_1.0.tar.gz 
* using log directory ‘/local/workspace01/zhangju/R_autopackage_Elbow/mypkg.Rcheck’

My question: How to correct the above error?

Thanks,
